The food pantry is open the first Saturday of every month from 10:00 AM until Noon. In addition to non-perishable food items, bread and frozen meats are normally available.

The pantry assists those living in West, South and East Hanover, and Lower Paxton Townships who are in need of basic food supplies. However, no one with a genuine need will be turned away. All that is required of clients is the completion of a short form indicating your name, address, employment status and the number of people in your household.

Interested in Donating Food?
Though a member agency of the Central PA Food Bank, the pantry is also supplied by donations from LifePoint attendees and the local community. Groups and businesses from the community that donated food, money or materials to the food pantry in the past year include:

• Atlanta Bread Company
• Amelia’s Grocery Outlet
• CD Freshman Football Team
• employees of Hershey Medical Center

Interested in Volunteering?
All are encouraged and welcome to help out on the Saturdays the pantry is open. All that is needed is two to four hours of your time and energy. Normal tasks include setting up a few tables and chairs, sorting and boxing food items, brewing some coffee, and most importantly being a warm and inviting face to those who drop in. If you would like to sign up or get more information, please call the church office at 652-1954.

Why do we do this?
The people will ask Him, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?” Jesus will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’

-- Matthew 25: 37, 40
